After reading the comments below I need to say the Eton FR600 is just a
complicated radio that people have complained about a lot and Tecsun PL-660
has terrible MW reception for the high price tag price. Read the reviews
and user experiences around the web like Amazon.com, and other radio
specific review sites for radios before listening to people on here… I
own 2 Sony FM MW SW radios, also a Sangean AM FM and they all have good and
bad things about each. The Ready Store should be selling the DEGEN DE13 for
a cheap alternative amazing radio. It does not have NOAA but the FM MW SW
reception is nothing short of amazing for a small cheap survival/camping
radio and most of the other features are great like cell phone charging,
solar charging, crank charging, dual battery bays, siren, flashlight, for
$30. This is a well rated radio by many many people. This little radio
pulls in stations as well and better than some radios I’ve owned. Do your
homework people! Buy something good!﻿

The Tuscan 660 has multple shortwave bands, aircraft band, AM/FM, has built
in charger for rechargable AA batteries or you can use Alkaline AA
batteries. It has a very good receiver and for around $100, is the best
emergency radio around. K5ATZ

Emergency Radios For Preppers

When the Chaos comes, cell phones and the Internet may no longer be available. In those cases, you will need other kinds of communications such as the following kinds of radios. And, you may need more than one in order to stay in contact with your family.

The radios listed below require a ham radio license to legally operate in transmit mode unless it is an emergency. No license is required just for receiving. I've included links for a couple of books that show how easy it is to get a ham license now.

Seriously consider getting your ham license now - so you are trained on how to operate, how to properly construct an effective antenna and how to operate with stealth. When it has already hit the fan, is not the time to learn this stuff! Be prepared now!
